62: The Empress's aunt's wild ways have completely ruined her.

At the center of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, the Li Clan Sword Tomb was surrounded by three mountains, with malevolent Sword Qi rushing into the sky.

Looking from afar, streaks of Five Elements Sword Qi crisscrossed irregularly in the sky.

A full one hundred and eight black tall towers were scattered like stars on a chessboard.

These black towers appeared chaotic, yet their Qi mechanisms were subtly connected, forming a great array that firmly protected the Sword Tomb.

Xuanyuan Baiying whispered, "This Sword Tomb was originally an ancient relic, unearthed over a thousand years ago. The Li Clan ancestors obtained the control token for the Sword Tomb's protective array, monopolizing this place. Since then, the Sword Tomb has become the private property of the Li Clan."

"Over the past millennium, experts who coveted this Sword Tomb have been as numerous as carp crossing the river, but without exception, they all returned defeated!"

"Twenty-five years ago, The Glamorous Empress Wu Feiyan gathered hundreds of experts and an army of 200,000 to attack the Li Clan Sword Tomb, but that effort also ended without resolution."

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Baiying suddenly stopped and looked suspiciously at Cao Meng: "The Glamorous Empress (Wu Feiyan) clearly knows this trip is dangerous, yet she sent you. Did she give you some kind of trump card?"

"Mm."

Cao Meng nodded: "Master said that once I arrive at the Sword Tomb, I will naturally know."

"Oh? Is that so!" Xuanyuan Baiying smiled noncommittally.

Cao Meng said no more.

For this trip to the Sword Tomb, Wu Feiyan had invested heavily in him. He carried a supreme protective treasure given by Wu Feiyan; should any accident occur, it could save his life.

Besides Wu Feiyan, Xuanyuan Baizhi, the Holy Empress of Great Liang, had also secretly given Cao Meng a protective treasure.

As they spoke, the Li Clan Sword Tomb was already before their eyes.

In front of the towering black gate, a man and a woman were standing prominently.

The man looked middle-aged, possessing a sharp Aura, like a sword piercing the heavens.

The woman, however, was very young and beautiful, especially her pair of watery, naturally affectionate eyes, which resembled deep pools. Every smile and glance exuded charm.

One word to describe her:

Captivating!

"Fox Spirit!"

Seeing this woman, Cao Meng subconsciously felt a trace of familiarity.

"They are the two managers of the Li Clan Sword Tomb."

"The man is Sword Immortal Li Wuliang, known as the Limitless Sword Immortal, a Sword Immortal of the Land Immortal Realm."

"The woman is named Su Rui, known as the Illusionary Sword Immortal. She is also at the Peak Land Immortal stage, and furthermore, she is the former Grand Empress Dowager of the Li Clan... Legend says she gained eternal youth by consuming an ancient Spirit Pill!"

"These two are Sword Cultivator experts on the immortal ranking, slightly weaker than Void Sword Walker. But they definitely rank above most Land Immortals."

Xuanyuan Baiying secretly transmitted her voice to Cao Meng, introducing them.

"Ah?"

Cao Meng was surprised.

The Li Clan's Grand Empress Dowager, Su Xiyuan.

Wasn't this the Great Zhou's Glamorous Empress, famous throughout the world a century ago?

However, since she is a Land Immortal, it is not surprising that she is still alive.

He threw an Appraisal Technique over.

Su Rui: Qingqiu Fox Demon, Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Wu Feiyan's maternal aunt. To steal the Li Clan's supreme treasure, she infiltrated the Li Imperial Palace, first becoming Empress, then entering the Sword Tomb, lying dormant for a hundred years, awaiting her chance.

Cultivation: Saint Stage Early Stage.

Talent: Celestial Fox Bloodline (Saint Grade).

Illusionary spirit sword Body (Heaven Grade).

destiny value: 4756 (Cannot Plunder).

Thoughts: I wonder what's going on with that Little Girl Feiyan, why is she suddenly so concerned about this kid... Could it be that the Little Girl has fallen for him? Although, this kid does look quite handsome.

~

So, the secret move my Empress Master spoke of was this woman. She is certainly well-hidden.

"No wonder Wu Feiyan has the Celestial Fox Saint Vein talent; turns out she's a Fox Spirit. But why didn't I detect it when I used the Appraisal Technique on her? Strange."

Cao Meng shook his head, suppressing the doubt in his heart.

His gaze fell upon the eight Black-Robed Persons standing behind the two.

The eight Black-Robed Persons were completely shrouded in black robes, with only their eyes visible. Their eyes were slightly red, and they were wrapped in malevolent Sword Qi, making it almost impossible to sense the Aura of living people.

"They are Sword Slaves specially raised by the Li Clan. Infected by malevolent Sword Qi, they are considered living dead," Xuanyuan Baiying explained opportunely.

As soon as the three landed, Su Rui greeted them with a beaming smile: "Dean, why have only two people arrived?"

'Void Sword Walker' smiled faintly and said, "The others are still behind and will arrive shortly."

"Oh." Su Rui nodded, her charming eyes sweeping over Cao Meng and Xuanyuan Baiying:

"What a fine pair of golden boy and jade girl. It seems White Deer Academy is set to amaze everyone in this Azure Cloud Dao Trial."

"I hope so!" 'Void Sword Walker' gave a cold laugh.

"It seems Dean Senior Brother is not in a good mood." Su the Fox smiled meaningfully.

She swayed her lotus steps and came before Cao Meng, less than half a foot away. Their breathing mingled, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over him.

"What a handsome younger brother~" With a charming glance, she asked, "You must be Cao Meng, right?"

Cao Meng smiled and said, "That is I. May I ask what advice Madame Su has?"

"The Li Clan has a pretty Little Girl. How about I promise her to you as your wife?" Su Rui asked with a beaming smile.

"A pretty Little Girl? Forget it." Cao Meng shook his head. "The women who come out of the Li Clan Sword Tomb are all crooked gourds and split dates. Only you, Grand Empress Dowager Su, are acceptable. If you are willing to give yourself to me, This Cao wouldn't mind."

The moment these words left his mouth, several cold Auras locked onto Cao Meng.

That Limitless Sword Immortal Li Wuliang subconsciously grasped the sword hilt at his waist.

Su Rui gave a captivating smile, waving her slender hand slightly, and the cold streaks of Sword Intent instantly dissipated.

"Little fellow, your guts are considerable." She then glanced at Xuanyuan Baiying and chuckled, "If you're not afraid of the Little Girl from the Xuanyuan Clan stabbing you, this Empress can certainly grant your wish."

"Ah?"

Cao Meng was stunned.

This former Grand Empress Dowager of Great Zhou certainly had a wild side.

Your words have truly left me speechless.

Upon hearing this, the old face of that Limitless Sword Immortal nearly turned green.

However, Xuanyuan Baiying's next words shocked everyone:

Xuanyuan Baiying looked at Cao Meng beside her with a smiling gaze and slowly said, "If Consort Su is willing, I naturally have no objection. We can just treat it as Cao Meng taking a concubine. After all, having the former Grand Empress Dowager of the Li Clan Dynasty as a concubine brings honor to my face, doesn't it?"

What?

Even Su Rui, who was deliberately provoking them, was stunned.

This girl from the Xuanyuan Clan is not easy to deal with.

"This future Immortal Wife is becoming more and more interesting," Cao Meng thought to himself.

"You seek death!"

With just one sentence, Li Wuliang exploded.

These two Little Brats dared to insult the Li Imperial Clan like this.

Su Rui was the former Grand Empress Dowager of the Li Clan, the face of the Li Imperial Clan!

They truly sought death.

*Clang* ~ The long sword was only half-drawn from its sheath before Su Rui pressed it back down.

"That's enough, Manager Wuliang. You're an adult; stop getting angry at two children." Su Rui smiled captivatingly, while simultaneously transmitting a message to Li Wuliang, "Impatience in small matters ruins great plans!"

"Hmph!" Li Wuliang sheathed his sword, his face darkening.

As they spoke, the subsequent Disciples had gradually arrived.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone had arrived.

"Alright, enter the Tomb!" Li Wuliang, his face grim, waved his hand. The curtain of swords behind the entrance automatically receded, revealing the true appearance of the Sword Tomb to everyone.
